[r] Σώπατρος τῇ ἀδελφῇ πλεῖστα χαίρειν. οὔπω μέχρι σήμερον τὰ πλοῖα τῆς ἀννώνας ἐξῆλθεν ἵνα δυνηθῶμεν ἐξελθεῖν, καίτοι ἐμοῦ μηδὲν ἔχοντος πρᾶξαι ἐνθάδε. λέγουσι δὲ ὅτι μέχρι ιε θέλομεν ἐξελθεῖν σὺν θεῷ. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι καὶ τὰ παιδία. [v] ἀπόδος παρὰ Σωπάτρου.

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Sopatros to his sister, very many greetings. Until today the ships of the annona have not yet sailed, so that we might be able to set out, although I have nothing to do here. But they say that by the 15th we expect to set out, God willing. I pray for your health, and the children's. [verso] Deliver. From Sopatros.

About this record's data
  • From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
  • AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
  • Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
  • Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
  • Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
